HAMILTON, Ont. - The Mohawk women's softball team lost twice to Conestoga of Kitchener in OCAA action at Mohawk Sports Park Sunday.

The Mountaineers dropped a tough 8-7, nine-inning decision, in the opening game, but then were whipped 32-4 by the Condors in the nightcap.

The first game turned into a see-saw battle after four scoreless innings. Lindsay Geffios of Conestoga scored on an error in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game 3-3. The Condors and Mountaineers traded runs in the 8th frame. Conestoga fashioned a four run ninth for an 8-4 lead.

Becky Rabchuk's three run triple with two out in the bottom half of the inning brought the home team to within one, but they couldn't cash in an equalizer.

In the second game, Conestoga already ahead 5-0 after one, scored 17 runs in the second inning and added six more in the third.

The mercy rule was applied after five innings.
